Grandmother?

Such a strange thing, both of my sons are expecting children. I visited them both, perhaps it's true what they say, a new birth means a new death...but why mother and father? Why now?

I will focus on my new grandchildren...and losing this weight I gained after my parents death. I will be the best grandmother!

Worried

I'm worried about Cassandra, she's been taking the death of her parents mighty hard. I sent her to the new community lot-Jacob's Vineyard, so that she could relax and get some lunch and visit the spa. She ended up leaving early and coming home to raid the fridge and cry. She's picking up weight and I'm concerned for her health. Thankfully the memorial service will be soon. I am taking the day off and the children will not go to school. I hope she gets better, I don't know how to comfort her in this time of sorrow.

Dead

Mother and father are dead. Old age. I am still in shock. The pastor dropped by to make sure that the family was alright and to discuss the arrangements. Thankfully they left very detailed instructions, so we are preparing for thier funeral this simFriday. That should leave plenty of time for annoucements and other arrangements to be made. I must buy some funeral snapdragons and dresses for the girls, the boys need to be notified, I...I think I need a cup of tea...

Older

Cassandra and I are getting older, also her parents are getting older. I've noticed that they are moving slower and I fear that soon they will be bedridden and then their time...will be done. I think they know it too. They have been talking about what kind of funeral they want, what flowers on their grave site and even what poems should be read. I wish I could get Starr's old trophies, she misses them and it would be great to bury her with them.

Bad news, I am no longer the manager at CupaJava. I am now just a cashier...for now. Apparently I'm too "bossy", isn't that my job? Well now I manage the bakery section which smells delicious! I still get to help out more than a normal cashier. I will help plan the new shipment of coffee in the store and rearrange the magazine and reading area for more efficiency.

Television

Oh, my. It has been a rather busy simday.

The photographers from "Celebrity Homes" arrived and we gave them a tour of the house. Tom and I updated our wills, we don't have much longer here. I can feel it.

Any descendants of Thomas Grey that can be found: $1000
Any descendants of Antonia Grey that can be found: $1000
Kate: $7000
Cassandra & Matthew: : house and value within it
Clark: $2000

Ginger: $5000 (to be used for university); Tom's robot crafting station
Marilyn: $5000 (to be used for university); a bottle of my favorite perfume D'Oulm

Hello

We have a blog now, how lovely. O, introductions.

We live in mother's manor, which will soon be mine. Father (Tom) and mother (Starr) are elders and I worry about them. They are aging rather quickly and are in danger of leaving us soon. Mother has been chosen to appear on the new show Celebrity Homes, so I must make sure everything is clean and shiny. O how I love to clean!

Matthew (my darling husband) and I (Cassandra) are both adults, though elderhood is creeping upon us. Our sons (Clark and Astaire) are married while our teenaged daughter, Hazel Starr, is behaving...very unladylike to say the least. She is constantly sneaking out of the home and has even started to be very tart at the mouth.

Thankfully the youngest (Ginger and Marilyn, both children) are little angels. Yes, they were our little surprises, but at this moment in our lives we needed the joy. Matthew is readjusting to being a father to such young children, but I love babies! If elderhood were not upon me I would consider having another child.

Otherwise things are going heaps good. The Historical Society is doing well, we're helping with the rebuilding process in our own way and I have finally gotten that strawberry stain out of the curtain in the kitchen.
